Yankees will use opener to try and fix Luis Severino
Ian Hamilton will start against the White Sox before Severino is expected to pitch in relief., so it’s possible that having him come into the game after Hamilton throws an inning or two could help.
With a mostly rested bullpen and an off day on Thursday, the Yankees are in position to have a short leash with Severino if he continues to scuffle. The Yankees had success earlier this season using an opener for Jhony Brito against the Blue Jays, though it has also backfired on them in the past when they had Deivi Garcia open for J.A. Happ in the 2020 ALDS.
Severino, a pending free agent, has posted a 7.74 ERA across 13 starts this season, including an 11.22 ERA over his last six starts. The Yankees have been trying to use the days in between his starts to fix his issues, but that has yet to pay dividends.Robert Sabo for NY PostIn the days leading up to Wednesday, Severino had been preparing to start – including throwing a bullpen session on Monday – but the Yankees had been cautious not to say he was definitely starting, with manager Aaron Boone continuing to leave himself some wiggle room on the decision.
